The Steep Stuff Podcast

James Lauriello

Booking Overview

An interview-focused trail and mountain running show featuring athletes, developing competitors, race historians, and specialists connected to skyrunning and ultrarunning. Agencies could credibly pitch accomplished mountain runners, ultramarathoners, coaches, sports scientists, race historians, and adventure athletes with substantive experience; booking difficulty is medium because the show welcomes both established and emerging voices but remains focused on credible mountain-sport expertise.
